Me: Welcome to Chapter 8 of Life of a psychotic red-head!
Tyson: Why haven't I been mentioned?!
Me: Because I am the authoress and it is in my power not to put you in a story.
Tyson: Hmph. Fine.
Me: Now do the disclaimer!
Tyson: NO!
Me: (Dangles cookie in front of Tyson)
Tyson:...Yang does not own beyblade! COOKIE! (Eats cookie)
"No! I'm not showing it to you!"
"Why not? I wanna see it!"
"Rei… no."
"Please?"
"No."
"Just take it out."
"Alright, fine. Not a word of this to anyone."
"It's huge! And… it's just dangling there… Can I touch it?"
"What? Uh… sure?"
And here I thought my life couldn't get anymore weird. But alas Brooklyn and Rei have proved me wrong. Though I am not blaming Rei. It's not his fault that Brooklyn has a pet Burmese Python. What? Did you think that he was...shame on you. I would never let my Rei even look at another man.
"Wow. Now what was the point of hiding it in a tank?" Rei said admiring the snake on his shoulders.
"Because people tend to try to skin it alive for it's magnificent scales and then boil and eat the rest of it." Brooklyn said offhandedly.
Actually that was more logical than most of the things he's said. Yes people in your absence a week has passed. And in this week I have been:
-Humiliated beyond belief.
-Stripped of so many of my lovely titles that I am now back to my birth name Tala.
-Once again lost my glare
-Moved further away from Rei
-Chewed out by Mariah to where I was almost made to be the mechanic.
-Chased, mauled and lost a shoe and earring to those crazed fan girls. No do not ask how they got close enough to get my earring.
-Terrorized by Spencer and Ian.
-And somehow I have unintentionally gotten closer to Brooklyn.
No. This has not been a good week.
"Tala. What do you think about it?" said Rei turning towards me with the snake now on his arm.
...I think that's one slow moving snake.
"It's not slow moving and it is a she."
"An how can you tell this?" I asked ignoring my slip in monologue. Hey if it happened to you as often as it did me you would begin to ignore it as well.
I have never seen any of genitals on a snake.
"Her aura is a nice calming blue. She looks at you through gentle eyes and her voice is that of a soothing angel." said Brooklyn as if it were the most obvious thing.
...See what I meant about the 'skinning the snake' comment being logical?
" Sure Brooklyn." said Rei.
"Anyways!" I sharply dismiss Brooklyn's comment with a flick of my hand, " I think that it is time for breakfast."
"Okay." said Brooklyn who took the snake from Rei and put her in the cage and walked out of the door.
"Hm. Do you think that Yang has given any food to Mariah?" asked Rei
"Only the bare essentials." I said
Upon walking into the kitchen I find out that I am right about the bare essentials. Mariah is sitting there with her head on the table. Barely conscious and drooling...ew. In my opinion She looks more like a dead fish now. Which brings me back to the theory that either Mariah's a medical mystery, adopted or not a human being. Yes I have many theories on what Mariah is.
"Mariah? Are you alive?" said Brooklyn waving a hand in front of Mariah.
"Uhhhhhnnnggg." she said
...Okay what the fuck was that?! This proves my theory that Mariah isn't human. Ha! I should get a Nobel peace prize for discovering a mutant!
"Good morning people!" said Julia storming in the room all bright and cheery.
Hm. Something's not right here. Julia us happy and Yang is...gone! OH MY GOD! JULIA KILLED YANG! NOOOOOOOO! WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO FEED ME NOW!!!! NO I DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THE DO DO BIRD!
"Tala. Calm down. I just went grocery shopping." said Yang popping up behind me.
ALLELUIA! Thank you who ever is up there. I won't have to starve!...Wait one minute!
"Didn't you go shopping yesterday?" I said
"Yes but it wasn't for food it was supplies for the tournament or did you forget?"
No. I didn't forget about that. I am not that slow, I just forgot what you wen shopping for...shut up. I know your laughing at me.
"Anyways!" Yang said sharply, "Mariah! Stop drooling on my clean table!"
"Guurrgggggghhhnn" she replied.
...That was just disturbing. Well not as disturbing as that two year old that was sitting next to me on a bus. I swear there was something wrong with her! She was sitting there sucking on her fingers and moaning. Don't look at me like that. Yes I know that most two years olds do that but if you would of heard her moaning. She sounded like some whore who was...well let's just say that it was very disturbing. (1)
Okay it was extremely disturbing. And now I have goosebumps.
"You know you could just let me and Tala take her into her room." suggested Brooklyn.
Yup. definitely have goosebumps and now chills.
"That sounds fine. Thank you Brooklyn." she said.
And I'm trembling. Don't believe me look at my hand! It's trembling! Look at it!
"Well ready Tala?" asked Brooklyn grabbing one of Mariah's arms.
No. I'm never going to be ready for anything involving you and that predator.
"Tala. Go or else I'll starve you worse than her" said Yang turning around and turning on the stove.
Ew. I actually like looking normal not like...that. Grabbing her other arm I am seriously praying that whatever she has is not contagious.
"Here. Let me help you cook." said Julia on our way out.
Thwack. Thud.
Ha ha.
"Well now that's done with." said Brooklyn.
And thank god it is.
"So. We have a good what hour or so before breakfast." said Brooklyn
Good point Brooklyn. Maybe I should wash my hands before we eat. Scratch that. I'm going to take another shower. Who knows what I could've gotten from touching it.
"Maybe we should...engage in recreational activities."
I have no idea what you mean by that but whatever it is no. I mean that all white suit hides is a body that can give Spencer, Rick and Crusher a run for their money. No I'm not coming on to him but you have never played tennis with him. I had thought that America was attacking again.
"Well how about it?" said Brooklyn putting on his I'm so innocent smile.
"No."
"Wrestling then?"
"Hell no."
"Good" said Brooklyn dragging me off to the gym that everyone trains in.
Help me.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. OW!"
"Shut up you big baby."
"No. OW!"
Do not cry Ivanov. Do not cry.
"OW! You fucking bitch!" I yelled out in pain.
"Oh really"said Yang who gave my side a rather painful poke (Read: stab) with her finger.
"OW!"
"Shut up and take it like a man"
This is cruel. First Brooklyn beats the shit out of me and now I have to endure Yang's painful bandaging. This is just cruel and wrong.
"What were you thinking? Picking a fight with Brooklyn." said Yang
I didn't pick a fight with Brooklyn. If I remember correctly I said no to Brooklyn's wrestling match but Brooklyn does not take no for an answer. So he escorted (Read: dragged) me to the gym which had a wrestling mat in the middle. Then he beat the shit out of me.
"It wasn't a fight, per se. It was more of an altercation of roughhousing between colleagues." said Brooklyn with his trademark smile.
An altercation of roughhousing between colleagues?! Sure and Bryan was having a tea party with Rei when he battled him.
"Still Brooklyn. You should've went easy on him."said Julia
" I did. I only used one hand."
ONE HAND?! ONLY USED ONE HAND?! IT FELT LIKE THERE WERE ATLEAST 4 PEOPLE FIGHTING ME!
"Regardless. Now we're down two bladers." said Julia.
Well that's okay five is a bit excessive. I mean we have no technician.
"Good point Tala. Maybe you should fill in."
"No."
"Come on Tala you'd be--"
"No."
"But--"
"No! One more word and I'll make what Brooklyn just did to me seem to be a mere hand game. " I said with a glare.
"Uhmmmmghhhnnn."
"Seems like Mariah's awake now. Brooklyn take a plate up to her." said Yang.
Oh my god. Yang's feeding Mariah.
"Yes ma'am" said Brooklyn grabbing the one plate on the table and leaving.
Silence reign over the place when our little psycho left the room. Until
"...OW!"
"You pansy."
(1) Yes this happened in real life. You'd get even more weidos than this on a NYC bus.
A/N: Well Chapter 8 locked and done. Back from France and better than ever. Though I think that I could've been a bit quicker. Gomen nasai for the slow update! (Bows) Ja Ne and Domo Arigato to those who reviewed.
